Eldridge Products, Inc. has pursued innovation and excellence in thermal dispersion gas mass flow measurement since 1988. Thermal flow meters offer simple, low cost operation for accurate, economical and reliable gas flow measurement for various applications - Compressed Air, Biogas, Natural gas, Aeration, Digesters, Landfills, HVAC systems — virtually any gas flow application. Master-Touch™ flow meters can solve your gas measurement challenges. Master-Touch™ Series 9200MP Flow Meters are for use in hazardous area locations (Flame proof locations), Certified to CSA/CUS, ATEX, IECEx, KOSHA standards. Insertion style thermal mass flowmeters include a sensor & probe assembly that is inserted into the process gas flow conduit to allow the process gas to flow across the flow inlet tube. Our insertion style flowmeters are available with 1/2", 3/4", or 1" OD probes. Optional mounting items - Tube fitting, flange, ball valve retractor. The tube length is determined by the size of the process pipe. Large ducts or stacks may require multiple averaging tubes to achieve the very best accuracy. For problematic or unique installations, please consult the factory. Remote style thermal mass flowmeters utilize two enclosures. The probe enclosure is Explosion proof (Flame proof) rated for use in hazardous area locations. The enclosure is mounted directly to the insertion probe assembly. The enclosure contains the electrical connections, signal processing electronics and the LCD display, with programming keypad. The remote enclosure has a Type 4X rating and is usually placed in a readily accessible non-hazardous area (Ordinary location). Optionally available, is an Explosion-proof remote enclosure. The enclosure contains the electrical connections, signal processing electronics and the LCD display, with programming keypad. Only a four-wire, twisted-pair cable is required to carry the input power and flow signal between the two enclosures. Our patented Flow Averaging Tubes™ (FAT™) use the principle of convective heat transfer to directly measure mass flow, and are well suited to most applications with limited available straight run. In many installations, the up-stream straight run can be reduced to three diameters. The probe has a number of large diameter inlet ports along the length of the upstream impact surface. The pressure at each inlet port is averaged inside the tube to create the axial flow through the tube and across our flow sensor. The gas returns to the main flow stream through the ports located near the sensing elements. Anomalies in the actual flow profile or installations in non-circular ducts may still some require minor adjustment to achieve the best accuracy.
